The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 894: Asura Nine Protectors, Zhai Xing, Paying Respects to the Young Master!

Yun Yubai also quickly reacted. Before he could even call out to his senior sister, he saw the dark figure attacking Bai Hao and the Twelve Shans. The technique used was from the Demon Clan’s cultivation methods! Malevolent energy scattered in all directions, coming with an overwhelming force. However, when the dark-robed figure struck with a palm, a bright long sword blocked the attack. But Yun Yubai had just recently awakened, and his spiritual power hadn’t fully recovered yet. Even though he blocked the dark-robed figure’s palm strike, he was forced back several steps, his hand trembling.

After a few more moves, he was already sweating on his forehead, struggling to hold his ground. This was because the Demon Clan member was already at the Demon Ghost stage! With insufficient spiritual power, Yun Yubai was only able to hold on by relying on his techniques. The dark-robed figure took a liking to him and decided to toy with him a bit more, refraining from delivering a fatal blow.

However, the battle on Qingwu’s side was at an impasse. The dark-robed figure had appeared to join forces with Qingwu to eliminate these troublesome pests. Bai Hao, with no spiritual power, was naturally unable to help. The already injured Eleven Shans quickly combined their efforts to unleash a Demon-Subduing Seal, but it had little effect; the dark-robed figure didn’t even take it seriously. He swept them all aside with a flick of his hand and then struck with another palm.

Yun Yubai was sent flying. As the dark-robed figure was about to deliver the final blow to Yun Yubai, someone grabbed his ankle. It was Crimson Glow Peak Master, who was already severely injured. She was vomiting blood but clung tightly to the dark-robed figure’s foot. Knowing she was going to die, she still refused to let go, urging, "Junior brother... run..."

Nanli and the others were engaged in a fierce battle with Qingwu and couldn’t spare a hand to help. Yun Yubai had to survive and quickly escape. The dark-robed figure paused for a moment, then raised his hand to strike at Crimson Glow Peak Master’s crown. This blow would surely be fatal for her.

However—

Yun Yubai’s movements, which had been somewhat sluggish just moments ago, were now as swift as lightning. He swung his long sword straight at the dark-robed figure. The figure coldly snorted, "Your spiritual power is insufficient. Do you still think you can save someone under my hand?!" He was determined to kill Crimson Glow Peak Master right in front of Yun Yubai!

But Yun Yubai’s sword strike was extraordinary. The blade was not only wrapped in spiritual power but also... demonic energy! His sword slash had the momentum to shatter mountains. The dark-robed figure was slightly surprised. After blocking the strike, he was forced back ten meters, feeling his chest filled with churning blood, almost spitting it out.

"What is this..." The dark-robed figure’s expression shifted from confusion to excitement. He looked up. The sudden gale that had risen also began to subside. Yun Yubai’s clothes fluttered slightly, and his sword still showed his strength. Everyone noticed the change in him and slowly looked up in disbelief. A dark Demon Seal on Yun Yubai’s forehead was particularly clear in the sunlight. His face was cold, and his body couldn’t help but tremble slightly. He had exposed himself in front of everyone. From now on, he would surely be despised and abandoned, wouldn’t he? But looking at Crimson Glow Peak Master, he had no regrets.

"Junior brother..." Crimson Glow Peak Master understood perfectly. Yun Yubai had used the Demon Core’s demonic energy to save her. Her eyes immediately became tearful.

Bai Hao and the others were still shocked:

"Yun... Master Yun, you’re actually a Demon Cultivator?!"

"No, this isn’t a Demon Cultivator’s mark. He’s from the Demon Clan!"

"Did you even read your books properly? This is clearly the mark of the Asura from the Demon Clan!"

"Asura Clan, but why are his eyes black?"

"..."

The Eleven Shans were arguing incessantly. They had never seen such a situation before. The dark-robed figure flicked his sleeve and happily answered, "A half-human, half-demon hybrid only has the Demon Seal, but the eye color remains unchanged."

Everyone suddenly understood. Immediately after, the dark-robed figure approached step by step. Yun Yubai’s heart tightened, and he subconsciously gripped the sword hilt. But there was no killing intent from the dark-robed figure. He suddenly knelt down on one knee, crossed his hands in front of his chest, which was clearly the salutation etiquette of the Asura from the Demon Clan. Before everyone could react, the dark-robed figure shouted loudly, "Asura Nine Protectors, Zhai Xing, paying respects to the young master!"

Yun Yubai was stunned. He was flustered, "What are you talking about!"

Zhai Xing quickly took off his hood, revealing a resolute face. The Asura Demon Seal and blood-red eyes were enough to prove his identity as a member of the Asura Clan. Because Zhai Xing knelt and paid respects, the fighting among the few people paused. They landed and stood in position. Yan Luo didn’t hear clearly, but seeing her former nominal master also had a Demon Seal, she couldn’t help but mock, "What nonsense! The so-called righteous Master Yun is actually a Demon Cultivator. How absurd! Master Yun, aren’t you embarrassed?"

Cinian frowned. Chu Yang, who didn’t know much about the Demon Clan, had no immediate reaction. Ximen Chuan’s eyes were complicated, and he still glared at Nanli. They had fought desperately, only to save a Demon Cultivator? Nanli must have known all along!

"How dare you!" Yun Jianchu, seeing Yan Luo humiliate his son like this, was furious. "Nanli, teach her a lesson! I want her dead!"

But in the next moment, Zhai Xing suddenly stood up and flicked his sleeve, sending Yan Luo flying. He coldly said, "How dare you, a lower-class Demon Cultivator, speak ill of the young master?" Yan Luo, already injured, fell to the ground and couldn’t get up. Qingwu was shocked. He glanced at Yun Yubai and, without needing Zhai Xing’s threat as a reminder, quickly paid his respects: "Young master, my apologies!" He didn’t expect that Yun Yubai was the person Zhai Xing had been looking for all along. There was still residual poison in his body, but since he was Zhai Xing’s master, it was definitely right to show respect.

Yun Yubai instinctively took a step back. "No, I’m not any young master!" Under the gaze of so many people, he was flustered and didn’t know how to face them. "I... I am the Peak Master of Yunxiao Peak from the Seven Peaks Sect!"

But no matter how loudly he shouted, the Demon Seal on his forehead had already said it all. Zhai Xing quickly said, "Young master, I know it’s hard for you to accept, but you must! You have the blood of our Asura Clan in you, and it’s supreme! You should be happy and feel honored!"

Nanli was about to ask Yun Jianchu if he recognized this person. Yun Jianchu had already said, "This person looks somewhat familiar. Hmm... let me think." Nanli rolled her eyes: This is your Asura Clan person, and you don’t even recognize them? Yun Jianchu was annoyed, "I’ve been sealed for ten thousand years. It’s normal that I don’t remember. Don’t expect too much from me!"

Nanli simply asked directly, "Who are you? And who is your master?" Normally, apart from Yun Yubai, Zhai Xing wouldn’t pay attention to anyone else. But Nanli was, after all, the Death God in her previous life. He just curled the corner of his mouth slightly, with a hint of mockery, and said, "Nanli, you don’t have the qualifications to question me now."

Nanli wasn’t angry either. She just smiled lightly, "I have no memory of you. You’re just a Demon Ghost, which shows that you didn’t have a high status in the Asura Clan before. If you’re embarrassed to say it, I won’t force you."
